Life Fitness Treadmill. Lifestyler treadmills are user-friendly models of exercise equipment designed for beginners and others looking to get some basic exercise in each day. When compared to other models, according to Treadmill Online, Lifestyler treadmill belts are wider than others and high quality. These devices also record the user's heart rate, calories burned and other functions you'd expect in a treadmill designed for home use. Whether your belt has been damaged due to slippage or is simply old and in need of replacement, you can have a new one up and running in no time.
- Unplug your Lifestyler treadmill from the wall outlet and use a Phillips head screwdriver to unscrew the six screws that keep the treadmill's motor cover in place. Remove the cover.
- Use your treadmill's hex key to loosen and take off the adjustment bolts located on either side of the rear roller. Acquire a new hex key from your local home improvement store if you've misplaced the original key.
- Use the hex key to remove the four deck bolts. Then use the hex key to remove the front rollers' adjustment bolts. Pop the end caps on both rollers off by using a flat head screwdriver to create leverage to pry them off.
- Direct your assistant to raise the front end up while keeping the front rollers in close proximity to the pulley. Pull the belt off while your assistant is holding the treadmill up.
- Slip the new belt over the rear and front rollers while your assistant is still holding the treadmill up. Snap the end caps back into place. Tighten the adjustment bolts on your front rollers and then tighten the adjustment bolts on your rear rollers. Replace the deck screws and the motor cover.
